i am so tired of being depressed. whats wrong with my brain? i am always struggling with depression. i am tired of feeling like, "whats the point?" life is stupid! why bother? i am tired of trying, struggling. i feel enslaved. i want to be free, and yet i need stability. i have no friends. i am cranky, short tempered, negative, a pain in the butt, fat. sigh... all the negative talk in my head. why cant i shut it off? i just want it to stop. i am tired of struggling with myself. i wish there was a way to end it that would not hurt me physically and others emotionally. sigh... i am so over it!

are you taking anything for the depression?
my depression makes me feel the same way you are talking about it is like my thoughts are going 100 mps.

Maybe those thoughts force their way into your head...but....you can battle them with just a bit of effort.

Every time one of those toxic thoughts happens...counter it with something positive. Anything positive. Just get into the habit.....it is easier said than done of course, but to change the way our brains work takes practice and diligence. You can do it!

Feel better! ((((((hugs))))))

It's a tough fight...I feel you. I hope you get some relief soon....I just relapsed,quit my job because I just couldn't take it anymore and have been suicidal....I am taking steps to get better, they have been switching my meds all around, seeing a therapist and am going to start a depression group/ class that my doctors office does. I hope it helps. I will have to work to. it's hard I know. Sorry you are struggling.

OMG I think like that too. Although this past week not too much. I have been on Effexor now for 7 weeks. My doctor keeps telling me it can take 8-10,,,whatever. Antidepressants will never be street drugs. They don't work fast enough!!!! Try to stay strong and get some help
ie: meds, therapy.......lots of hugs for you!!!!

LOL, no i am not really good about taking my meds. i usually take the morning dose but frequently forget the afternoon dose. and it does make a difference. things are never quite as bad as they seem, but when you're in it, it feels HORRIBLE! Thanks for all your help, support, suggestions!!!
